Theyhave the hall and some benches, onwhich unemployed men may sleep,and they are hoping occasionally tohave rolls and coffee for the hungry,but they haven't a stove. I could nottell that man where he could getsuch a stove because I did not knowof a single organization that wouldgive it to them.A mother of five children appealedto me to get her a position so thatshe might keep her children (withher, as four of them are now out atdifferent homes and she is unable,save for the charity of friends, tokeep herself and the little boy shestill has with her.And for a month I have spokenof that woman's case to every socialworker I have met and though -thewoman is quite young, of good appearance and willing, I have been unable to get work for her.These are just a few cases.

Last winter, whenthe thermometer waB below zero, Istood on the street watching thebread line of hungry, homeless men.That line extended around an entireblock and those men stood there forover two hours that they might geta tin cup of coffee and a single roll.I visited the municipal lodginghouses where many of the men hadto sleep on the floor with just a paper under them, and I watched menbeing turned away who would haveto walk the streets in that bitter coldand their thin apparel all night.
